Resume-SCVirtualMachine

Resumes paused virtual machines managed by VMM.

Description

The Resume-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet resumes one or more paused virtual machines managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). A paused virtual machine is one that has been suspended by using the Suspend-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet. Using the Resume-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet to resume a virtual machine returns its object in a Running state. When the virtual machine is running again, the user can resume activity on that virtual machine.
If you run Resume-SCVirtualMachine on a virtual machine that is already running, the cmdlet returns an error message indicating that the virtual machine is not in a state that Resume-SCVirtualMachine can act on.

Examples

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 (which this example assumes to be in a paused state) and stores the object in the $VM variable.
The second command resumes the virtual machine stored in $VM (in this case, VM01) to a running state and displays information about the object to the user.

The first command gets all virtual machine objects from VMMServer01 that are paused, and then stores the objects in the $VMs object array.
The second command passes each object stored in $VMs to Resume-VM, which resumes each virtual machine to a running state.
